It turns out, they were the main characters.

"Ancestor, are you ready? In a moment, I will exchange our spiritual consciousness..."

Lan Mulian said softly to herself, her tone seemingly tinged with nervousness.

Even for her, this was the first time she had ever done something so absurd—she had actually delivered her junior brother, her Daoist partner, into the arms of her ancestor…

If her junior brother knew, he would probably blame her for not discussing it with him beforehand...

As Lan Mulian was thinking about this, she suddenly felt her thoughts interrupted, because she felt a cool, immortal golden lock quietly wrapping around her jade-like neck...

At the same time, two immortal golden locks silently bound her legs, restricting her movements.

Lan Mulian suddenly raised her head and saw that the Immortal Golden Lock that had just restricted her junior brother's movements had been unlocked, and at this moment it had all become the shackles that restricted her.

"You actually managed to undo the talisman left by your master yourself?" Lan Mulian's tone was full of astonishment and surprise.

"Senior Sister has the Heavenly Fate Sacred Body, so I also know a little about the art of seeing through the origin. I just tried it out and I didn't expect to solve it so easily."

Mu Zhian smiled, looking at the aloof beauty bound by the Immortal Golden Lock in front of him, and at her beautiful eyes staring at him in disbelief. He paused, then continued, "Senior Sister, I was just trying to protect myself... Don't blame me."

Mu Zhi'an had expected Lan Mulian to show fear or surprise, but to his surprise, Lan Mulian's gaze remained calm as always. She looked at him with a smile and said, "Even a cultivator at the Enlightenment Realm cannot forcibly break a counterfeit Immortal Gold Lock. But you managed to break free of its restraints by glimpsing its essence and with the help of Heavenly Dao Qi?"

"And then, what are you planning to do to me now?"

Her tone remained aloof and cold, yet combined with Lan Mulian's current demeanor, it made one's heart beat faster.

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, flowing hair, dressed in a white dress, was reclining on the soft bed behind her, seemingly leaning against something. Her white dress was slightly disheveled from being wrapped in the celestial gold lock earlier, and her long, slender, and plump legs and the celestial gold lock on her ankles could be vaguely seen beneath the hem.

Her alabaster red lips were slightly pursed, her cool expression revealing a hint of anger and shyness, and her beautiful eyes, which looked at Mu Zhian, were misty with tears.

"Senior sister, you should know that Ancestor Lan is unable to leave the Second Ark because of his weakened spiritual consciousness."

Mu Zhian paused slightly before continuing, "So, my previous conversation with her... was also in the hope that you could leave that eerie ancient ship as soon as possible."

Lan Mulian smiled faintly and said, "What's the necessary connection between what you're saying and what you're planning to do now?"

"I haven't even done anything yet..."

"Your eyes have already betrayed you."

Lan Mulian said calmly, "Because you saw me bound by the Immortal Golden Lock, you had bad intentions, didn't you?"

She glanced at the candlelight not far away and said with a smile, "Do you want to punish me, your senior sister who has confined you in the bedroom without permission, with some small props, just like in the book 'The Art of Taming a Husband'?"

"But Master still has nine immortal gold locks on him... Why don't you have any bad intentions towards her?"

Under normal circumstances, Mu Zhian should have realized by now that Lan Mulian was acting strangely.

Because she was too calm.

However, Mu Zhian's attention was drawn to the small prop that Lan Mulian had just mentioned, and it fell on the flickering candlelight.

Then, noticing Lan Mulian's slightly teasing gaze, he couldn't help but cough lightly: "Senior sister, no matter what, I could never do such a thing to you..."

As for using those props against Shang Yanfei, as my senior sister suggested, that's even more unrealistic.

Even though the sect leader's sister was sealed by the Nine Immortal Golden Locks, she still possessed the strength of the Dao Integration Realm. If anyone really wanted to do something bad to her, no one could do it unless she consented.

"So you want to unlock the Immortal Gold Lock for me now?"

For some reason, there seemed to be an inexplicable allure in her tone.

It's impossible to solve it directly... after all, we haven't even started playing the mini-games yet...

Mu Zhi calmed himself down and smiled, "I'll do back to you exactly what Senior Sister was planning to do to me."

As he finished speaking, he was about to fold the veil and cover Lan Mulian's eyes with it.

However, at this moment, Mu Zhian felt his body stiffen slightly, and then it felt as if unmelting ice was quietly covering his feet.

What's going on...?

Could you repeat what you just said?

Almost without giving Mu Zhian any time to react, the immortal golden chains that had been binding Lan Mulian had shortened section by section. It seemed to have its own will, frozen by the extreme cold, and dared not bind the woman any longer.

Lan Mulian suddenly opened her incredibly beautiful ice-blue eyes, her pupils seemingly reflecting snowflakes.

Mu Zhian paused for a moment, as if realizing something, and blurted out subconsciously, "Is Lan Shihuai in your furnace?!"

Lan Mulian smiled sweetly, then said in a cold tone, "I have already made an agreement with the ancestor to help her regain her physical body as soon as possible."

Mu Zhi'an's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Senior Sister, wait—"

Before the words were even finished, the entire room froze instantly.

……

I was so stupid...

Really...

All I know is that my senior sister has only just grasped the Daoist principles, so it's impossible for her to break free from the shackles of the Immortal Golden Lock.

But I never expected that my senior sister would be so filial, even allowing Lan Shihuai's spirit to reside in her body...

A day later, Mu Zhian dragged his tired body back to Tianhe Garden.

After eating the medicinal meal that Consort Shang Yan had sent not long ago, Mu Zhian returned to his room, supporting his back, and entered a brief period of meditation with his eyes half-closed.

After this wave, his innate furnace was completely depleted.

"Sect Leader Sister is so thoughtful. Knowing I was weak, she specially sent me a medicinal meal to replenish my energy... I just don't know if this counts as a work injury..."

Recalling what happened at Liangyi Peak yesterday, Mu Zhian was filled with emotion.

At that moment, Mu Zhian heard the door creak open, and he almost instinctively pressed his waist.

Then, upon seeing that the person in front of her was Miss Tiandao, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You startled me... Don't you usually only come to Kyushu when something major happens? Why are you here at the Ryougi Sect so soon?"

"Doesn't Master want me here?" Miss Tiandao tilted her head slightly and asked, puzzled.

"Is it because you've already been intimate with other women and entered a state of indifference, so you no longer care about me?"

Mu Zhian was taken aback, then gently beckoned with his finger.

Miss Tiandao walked gracefully to Mu Zhian's side, looking at him with a cold expression.

"Are you jealous...? You shouldn't have this kind of feeling, right?" Mu Zhian asked suddenly, looking at the gleam in Miss Tiandao's beautiful eyes.

"I don't have any emotions or desires, but I worry that my master will gradually forget me after he gets involved with other women. Thinking about this makes me very uneasy and sad," Miss Tiandao said calmly.

"I guess this is called being jealous..."

Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile, stood up and walked to her side, took Miss Tiandao's hand, and comforted her:

"Don't worry, I won't abandon you... Even if the Heavenly Dao truly descends in the future, I will keep you by my side."

Under Mu Zhian's reassurance, Miss Tiandao seemed to calm down a lot.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian finally spoke and asked, "You have descended upon the Nine Provinces today because someone has violated the rules of heaven and earth again, so you are about to unleash heavenly punishment?"

"No."

Miss Tiandao said in a calm tone, "The fate of the Great Qian Dynasty has come to an end. According to the requirements of the rules of heaven and earth, a forbidden land will come to take away the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty. After that, a new dynasty will be born under my arrangement."

"The Great Qian Dynasty..."

Mu Zhian murmured to himself, inexplicably thinking of the seemingly eternally proud and elegant eldest princess, Yongning.

If the Great Qian Dynasty is truly nearing its end, what should she do after that...?

"Master, what's wrong...?"

Ms. Tendou's voice brought Maki Chian back to reality.

He looked at the awe-inspiring, goddess-like deity before him and smiled, "You're going to the Great Qian Dynasty next, right... Can I go with you? I want to see how the Heavenly Dao executes the rules of heaven and earth, arranging the birth of a new dynasty in the unseen realm."

However, this time, Miss Tiandao did not agree directly. She hesitated for a moment and said, "This does not comply with the requirements of the rules of heaven and earth... The 'terminal' has stipulated that others are not allowed to watch when these things are being done."

Mu Zhian's eyes dimmed: "I see... In your heart, do the rules of heaven and earth still take precedence over me?"

He waved his hand gently and said, "I understand... You can go now."

Miss Tiandao turned and walked out of the room, then couldn't help but turn her head to look at the boy behind her.

He sat back down on the bed alone, looked up slightly at the window, his face filled with sadness. Amidst the falling leaves outside the window, even his silhouette seemed desolate.

For some reason, my previously calm state of mind suddenly began to ripple.

Miss Tiandao hesitated for a moment, but eventually turned around and walked to Mu Zhian's side.

Mu Zhian looked at her immediately, without saying a word, but his eyes showed a hint of confusion.

"The rules of heaven and earth do indeed stipulate that others are not allowed to follow."

As Miss Tiandao spoke, she knelt by the bedside, and her usually cold and emotionless voice seemed to have gained a touch of inexplicable allure.

She raised her beautiful, moist eyes, which held a hint of allure, and continued, "But if it's my master, I'd be willing to take you with me..."

Mu Zhian's eyes flickered slightly: "Won't this cause you trouble?"

"I can handle these problems, Master, please don't worry."

Mu Zhian: "If I weren't in such a bad mood today, I would really like to reward you handsomely. After we go to the Great Qian Dynasty, come see me sometime tonight."

"I understand, Master," Miss Tiandao replied calmly.

But a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The women around the master were indeed all stunning beauties.

But that's all.

Miss Tiandao is different.

She is the representative of humanity appointed by Heaven, and the executor of the rules of Heaven and Earth.

Of course, she herself is also subject to the rules of heaven and earth and needs to abide by them.

But now it is the master who is making a request of her.

Everyone in the world fears her, but her master is different... Not only is he not afraid, but he also has pure love and desire for her, and he even kissed her.

Her current personality is actually an additional personality bestowed upon her by her master's innate furnace.

Therefore, if it's for the sake of the master, even violating the rules of heaven and earth once doesn't seem like a big deal.
